Miike Snow is an indie pop band with an eclectic electronic sound hailing from Sweden, formed in 2007. The trio consists of producing team Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg, known collectively as Bloodshy & Avant, who have notably worked with artists like Britney Spears and Madonna, and American songwriter Andrew Wyatt. The band's name is a playful alteration of the name "Mike Snow," with an additional 'i' to add a twist of uniqueness and to avoid confusion with an individual artist.

Miike Snow's rise to popularity came quickly, with their self-titled debut album released in 2009, featuring the hit single "Animal." Their sound is characterized by catchy hooks, synth-driven melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics. Following their debut, the ambitious follow-up "Happy To You" was unveiled in 2012, demonstrating the band's continued evolution and experimental edge. Miike Snow's third album, "iii," released in 2016, further solidified their presence on the global music stage and included successful tracks like "Genghis Khan" and "Heart is Full." The band has also actively engaged in creating remixes and has seen various tracks reimagined by artists across the music spectrum, showcasing their influence and connections within the music industry. With a penchant for infectious grooves and a distinctive sound that blends indie sensibilities with electronic production, Miike Snow has cemented themselves as a singular force in the contemporary music landscape.
